8. Why Acquisition
• MAU (monthly active users) will ramp up to 1 billion by 2019
• Gives it additional leverage over Twitter in the battle for more
direct messaging market share.
• WhatsApp’s function will make it a near-essential add-on to
smartphones, and this—combined with smartphone user growth
as well as user behaviour that’s shifting more and more
towards mobie.
• This will help Facebook to diversify its revenue sources away
from the U.S.
